About this Professional Certificate
Kickstart your career in the high-demand field of full-stack development. In this program, you’ll master essential technologies like React, JavaScript, and Node.js—and become job-ready in under 4 months, with no prior programming experience required.

After completing this professional certificate, you will be able to: 

  • Identify and describe the core languages, frameworks, and tools used in full-stack JavaScript development (e.g., React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB).
  • Develop responsive front-end applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React to create dynamic user interfaces.
  • Design and deploy scalable cloud-native back-end services using Node.js, NoSQL databases, containers, microservices, and serverless architectures.
  • Compare different DevOps strategies and select appropriate CI/CD tools to automate software deployment pipelines.
  • Build a full-stack web application by integrating front-end and back-end components with RESTful APIs or GraphQL.
  • Apply Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) to iteratively develop, test, and refine software projects in a collaborative environment.

A full-stack JavaScript developer designs, builds, and maintains both the front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) of web applications using JavaScript libraries and frameworks.
